Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥

Still sitting at the restaurant while writing this out of boredom. We sat down at 5:30 and now it is almost 9, we still have 1/3 of the dish not served yet. Food is not good tasting. I feel like they just don’t know how to cook food to make them delicious, more like experimenting new ways to cook just for the sake of it. It is either too sour, or too raw, or too plain. Serving speed is really slow. Prepare for a night of sitting around and waiting - they have severs and cooks rotate and serve so everybody is doing something they are not good at at some points of the night. Maybe that’s why. Very expensive, too. We had the filed guide, pretty steep price even for find dining. But the worst taste and one of the worse services I have had. And I am usually accompanying my wife at these fine dining places so I had very little complains usually. But I felt strongly to write this (also bored just waiting). My wife passed on more than half of the dishes because she just couldn’t justify eating them after having a taste. And she is more than happy to eat the food I cook at home, and I am just a freaking regular guy. Very not recommended. Save yourself the time and money and don’t bother coming. Oh just before I am going to submit this review, they actually brought our bill- and we still have 3 dishes left!!!! What a joke

Finally satisfied a longing I’ve had to visit and dine with Ilis. Each day time someone dines with a restaurant is an opportunity to make their day. I’d say Ilis has done so for my entire gastronomical fall season To quote the Michelin guide: The brainchild of Noma-alum (and co-founder) Mads Refslund and his business partner Will Douillet, Ilis seeks to elevate the dining experience through every touchpoint. It has succeeded. In fact, I’d say beyond elevation and has shot for and reached the moon. I’ve dreamed of visiting Noma, and so upon reading about Ilis’ opening, my curiosity was piqued. The experience is both dazzling and comforting. At times one can feel, as someone once put, little when experiencing fine dining. I brought my niece for late birthday celebrations, and I noted her wonder, surprise, but also ease in being there. The dining experience was a like a symphony with rich segments, harmonies, and crescendos. When is the last time you found yourself unable to describe flavors of a dish? Or so compelled to simply sit in silence allowing all presence to go towards your taste buds. These are desperate attempts to put in words an indescribable feeling, brought to you by Ilis 🤍 Thank you to Breanna (forgive a potential misspelling), our gracious server; Ian, the exquisite sommelier with whom I shared a delicately profound reflection over a glass of cabernet franc; and of course Mads for the wonderful surprising creations🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

From the moment we stepped into ILIS, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that felt both innovative and warmly familiar. The open kitchen design allowed us to witness the seamless choreography of chefs preparing dishes with precision and passion.  A special mention must go to Samantha, who took extraordinary care of us throughout the evening. Her deep knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm enhanced our dining experience immensely. She guided us through the selection of ingredients from the dynamic menus, ensuring each choice resonated with our preferences. The concept of chefs serving the dishes they prepare added a personal touch that made each course feel intimate and thoughtfully crafted. The use of seasonal North American ingredients, combined with techniques like fermentation and open-fire cooking, resulted in flavors that were both bold and nuanced.   The ambiance, complemented by curated artwork and natural materials, created a dining environment that was both sophisticated and inviting. We had a great time just hanging out there. In summary, our evening at ILIS was nothing short of exceptional. Samantha’s attentive service and the team’s collective dedication to their craft made for a memorable culinary journey. We eagerly anticipate our next visit.

Always a great dining experience at ILIS. The space is stunning, the service is warm and seamless, and the dishes are creative and delicious. Every course felt thoughtful and exciting. The open kitchen vibe is definitely a bonus and adds to the ambience. Although it is not in the most convenient location, it’s definitely worth the trip. Highly recommend!

I’ve been wanting to try Ilis for a long time. I live across the street and walk by it every day, always admiring its interior—without question one of the most beautiful restaurant spaces I’ve ever seen. The lighting, materials, and atmosphere are stunning. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the setting. I went with a couple of friends just planning to have a cocktail, but we ended up ordering a few small plates to share. I explained clearly to the bartender that I prefer dry, non-sweet drinks and gave specific examples, yet the cocktail I was recommended—though decent—was far too sweet and completely missed the mark. When I mentioned this, the bartender’s reaction was dismissive and slightly aggressive, which made the interaction uncomfortable and took away from the experience. We ordered the sourdough with butter and nightshades, which looked promising. The nightshades were flavorful, but the butter had a slightly rancid, sour taste that lingered unpleasantly. The bread itself was fine but plain, and the portioning was frustrating—only one slice cut in half, which wasn’t nearly enough to pair with the generous amount of butter and toppings. Even after asking for more bread, it still felt unbalanced. The whelk dish was by far the most disappointing. I’ve had whelk before and enjoyed it elsewhere, but here it was overwhelmingly strong and left a harsh, savory taste that lingered long after eating. It completely overpowered everything else, including my drink, and it didn’t sit well with me physically—I ended up with an upset stomach and felt slightly sick afterward. I wanted to love Ilis. The space is beautiful, the concept ambitious, and it clearly has a following. But between the overly sweet cocktail, unbalanced small plates, and the unpleasant whelk, the experience fell short. Ilis has all the potential to be extraordinary, but my visit left me disappointed and in no rush to return.

At $225pp. This high end modern dinning spot was definitely visually appealing and delicious. We selected the fluke two ways and the squid. Every single dish was very nice and the service was great. The green grass dessert was surprisingly delicious and addictive.

Where do I begin...it was not just a great food, impeccable service, an a pleasant ambiance- it was an experience, a story "told" through all the senses: sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste - everything was involved and actively participated in the process. The moment you walk in - you find yourself in another dimension: dimmed lights, high ceilings, wall art, raw brick wall, and a very peculiar aromas greet you upon arrival. We choose Market Menu, and enjoyed picking the ingredients. It felt like we were active participants and chef's helpers. Every single dish - was a piece of art! Every bite awoke taste buds in ur mouth. It was one of the best experiences we were fortunate to have. You could distinguish every single ingredient in the dish: the herbs' freshness, the fish rawness, scallops sweetness. It was truly unforgettable and incomparable. Thank you to the chefs and all the team.

We loved the evening. The food was surprising. Very creative, wonderful taste and texture most of the time and real interesting. We did get excellent advice on the wine. We had a truly wonderful white Chardonnay’s from Oregon. We liked that the guys making the food also served it. Friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is real nice. We felt welcome, relaxed and comfortable. This evening was made about us. People and food created a wonderful evening with a great experience. All in all very much worth it. In spite of a steep bill.

Stopped in for drinks and small bites. The interior is very clean and sleek. The drinks were amazing. The food was top tier. The open kitchen was a nice visual. The entire staff was so professional and friendly. I will definitely be back.
